#1 Sally Pearson is listed as AR,MR,WL

I assume that is Austrian (National) Record, Meet Record, World Leader

The #2 (Danielle Carruthers) is listed as PB

(Personal Best)

Was Pearson not listed as PB because we are to assume that from the national record? (Unless, she has a faster PB racing previously under another citizenship, which I assume is not so)

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

wouldn't adding PB to those record times be kind of like saying: "You not only won the race, but look! You won your age group, too!"

Correct.

What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.
